What vitamins should men be taking to hurry the process along. I am taking folic acid and trying to heat healthily. Maybe DH should do the same.

Morning bgt

I have just bought me and my DP Sanatogen mum to be and father to be vitamins. Mine contains multivits and Folic acid while his contains multivits and Zinc. I did read somewhere online that Zinc helps in sperm production.
I have no idea if they will help or not, but it's worth a try.
Happy trying!

It won't do him any harm taking these but simple remedies like these will not do anything at all to address quality of semen and or increasing sperm count.

Sperms are complicated things and there is much about them that is not fully understood.

'Sperms are complicated things and there is much about them that is not fully understood'
I do remember reading something like that as well now you say it ATM.
I also remember the article saying that it's best to have intercourse every 3-4 days as old sperm is weaker and if the man ejaculates too often it can 'water the seman down'.
Wish I could remember where I read all this so I could attach a link.

when my dp's sperm test showed a reduced count and only 1% morphology the ivf guy (cant remember the proper name) advised pycnogenal and fertilaid for dp.

dont know if it will work or not as he has only been on them a few weeks. will let you know after the next test!
